Located on the Great Ocean Road, Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn is a 15-minute drive from Great Otway National Park. The famous Twelve Apostles are a 1-hour drive away. Local shops, cafes and restaurants and the visitor information centre are within walking distance.

Love the cleanliness and coziness of the room. Plus, we were late and worried about not being able to check in but the keys are left outside of the reception area and checking-in and -out was a breeze, just had to drop the keys back in a container from the same area.

The views were amazing.

The couch was so comfortable I fell asleep on it.

    The view is stunning, so peaceful and stylishly decorated and furnished. Good quality linen, extras like books, hammock, info about Apollo Bay, a friendly cow grazing at the front of the property, a lovely verandah and parking at the door. We could hear and sea the waves crashing and the sun rising. We just loved it.

    Good location for beach access and the stunning Marriner’a Lookout. A fair way from town but that means less 4WD noise so lovely and quiet. Helpful host.

    Stunning! Modern accommodation but with a unique beachside/country town finish. Staff were absolutely lovely. We would stay there a million times over. We stayed in the glamping tents. These were to die for. Outside kitchen. Inside kitchen. Heating. Cooling. Beautiful bathroom. Bed was magnificent. Metres from the beach with an outdoor area overlooking the beach.

    It is a lovely and charming estate, with the cows and alpacas to welcome you. Couldn't dream of a better location, right on the great ocean road, for an affordable price. The common area overlooking the ocean is amazing, and the kitchen is very well equipped with professional furniture. The property is lovely, but could really do with few renovations.
